Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 135 The Scavenger
Scavengers are human beings who live outside safe cities. Most of them are forced to wander outside because they cannot enter safe cities.There are also some who committed some crimes and were expelled by the government.

And there are very few people, because they don't want to be restricted by the control of the city, so they go out of the city and live a free wandering life.

Due to the different growing environments and different ways of being educated, some scavengers have extremely extreme personalities. They are even willing to work hard for a small corpse beast and human, even if it is possible to pay the price.

Just like the two scavengers Ning Qiu is facing now, obviously, one prey is enough for them to fight each other desperately.

"One." The scavenger with the bow and crossbow began to count.

"two."

Ning Qiu remained indifferent, the distance between them was about 30 meters, and with the lethality of the crossbow, they couldn't pose any threat to him at all.

"three."

As soon as the scavenger man finished speaking, he immediately pulled the trigger, but later, he found that the bow and crossbow did not move at all, and the crossbow was not fired at all.

Ning Qiu's right index finger holding the sword shot out a soul string, tightly entwining the bow and crossbow.

"What's going on?" The man who scavenged was taken aback and pulled the trigger vigorously.

Ning Qiu moved his feet and rushed over at an extremely fast speed. With a wave of his big sword, he cut off the bow and crossbow.

The moment the big sword swung down, the man turned pale with fright, thinking that Ning Qiu was going to kill him.

"Awakened?" Another young man standing aside said.

Afterwards, the two fled in a hurry.

They are just ordinary people. Even if they regard their prey as their lives, they will not be so stupid as to fight against the awakened ones. That is not called desperate, but sent to death.

"Murder for a corpse beast?" Ning Qiu frowned, thinking that scavengers are really unreasonable.

The thinking of urban citizens and scavengers outside the city is very different. As far as Ning Qiu is concerned, except for the Spiritual Sect, he has never killed anyone at all, and it is even more impossible to kill people for a small amount of money.He has received higher education in human civilization and understands the most basic ethics.

But scavengers are different. Scavengers of different forces meet outside, even if there is no conflict with each other, it is easy to conflict, just to seize the resources in the hands of the other party.

After the two young men fled, Ning Qiu and Jiang Ling returned to the location of the armored vehicle. Before they left Nandu, they bought a large box of coal, as well as some barbecue tools and seasonings, in order to be able to eat some game outside the city.

"I'll leave the task of grilling to you. I'll spread some corpse powder around." Ning Qiu took two bottles of corpse powder from the car, and left with a big sword on his shoulder.

Jiang Ling looked at the corpse rabbit in his hand, and then at the three days of anticipation.

After that, she pierced the body of the dead rabbit with a chisel, and then took out the charcoal oven and put the coal in the oven.

Once the fire is lit and the coals are lit, it's time to prepare for the barbecue.

But before that, a smoke machine needs to be placed, and the smoke machine has the function of purifying the air, which is to prevent the smell of barbecue from spreading, thereby attracting the surrounding zombies.

"You have to turn it, otherwise it will be scorched." Looking at Jiang Ling's movements in San Tian, ​​his brows frowned slightly.

"En." Jiang Ling nodded.

……

Ning Qiu walked in this deserted town and began to sprinkle corpse powder.

The reason for doing this is to prevent corpses from appearing at night. Although they sleep in the armored vehicle, if the armored vehicle is attacked by a large group of zombies, it will not be able to withstand it.

The location of the deserted town is backed by mountains, and because of the terrain, it is not easy for large groups of zombies to appear here, but the corpse powder is also for insurance purposes.

After Ning Qiu sprinkled the corpse powder, he walked back, only to find that the corpse rabbit had been roasted by Jiang Ling to the point where he didn't know what it was like.

I saw that some places on the poor corpse rabbit had been scorched, but some places were not yet cooked.

"I won't." Seeing Ning Qiu's return, Jiang Ling handed the brazier to him, then walked to the side and sat down.

"..." Ning Qiu looked at the corpse rabbit in his hand, and thought to himself, what the hell are you? Didn't you say it earlier?
Ning Qiu's barbecue skills are not bad, not a master level, but at least he can be considered a small chef.

After some rescue by him, it was barely edible.Put some seasoning on it, and it immediately exudes a fragrance.

Barbecue outside the city must be careful to prevent the smell from emitting. This kind of problem is difficult to solve, but human beings are intelligent advanced animals, so someone made a kind of oil for this purpose, as long as it is spread on the grilled food , you can restrain the fragrance, and it will be more delicious.

"I seem to have bought some potatoes before. Three days ago, go look for them in the car." Seeing that the dead rabbit was almost ready to eat, Ning Qiu turned around and said to Three days.

San Tian nodded, then got into the car.

After 10 minutes, the guy walked back.

"You are stupid! I don't know Tudou." Tian Tian gave him a look, looking at Ning Qiu like an idiot.

"..." Ning Qiu was speechless again, thinking that these two girls are simply the best.

The corpse rabbit has been roasted, Ning Qiu cut off the scorched part with a knife, then cut the roasted meat into small pieces, put them in a small iron basin, poured some sauce, stirred it, and then it was ready to eat up.

"My God! I've become your babysitter." Ning Qiu handed the small iron basin to San Tian, ​​and then went to the car to fetch potatoes.

There is a lot of stuff piled up in the car because they are going to live outside the city for a long time.

In the last days, potatoes are relatively easy to grow food crops, and they are also the staple food in cities, especially in poor areas.

But who knows, when Ning Qiu found the potatoes and got out of the car, the two girls had already started to devour them, Ning Qiu said in his heart, and hurried over.

As a result, there was only a little residue left in a small pot of corpse rabbit barbecue.

"Can't you save some? I haven't eaten yet?" Ning Qiu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Three days reluctantly glanced at the leftovers and minced meat in the basin, then handed it over, and said, "There's still a little more, I'll give it to you."

"..."

Ning Qiu suddenly felt very tired. It seemed that the staple food tonight was destined to be potatoes.

For three days, he is not big, but he eats a lot, and his mouth is very greedy.

After dinner, the three of them packed up and prepared to go back to the car to rest.

Suddenly, they heard a series of footsteps in the distance.

Judging from the sound and rhythm of the steps, it doesn't seem like a zombie.

Sure enough, strangely dressed men came over, among them, Ning Qiu also saw the two young men before.

"Found it, it's them." One of the men raised his hand and pointed.

These people all held weapons in their hands, and the leader was a bald man who was very tall and strong.

There were about 30 people in total, and they were immediately surrounded.

"Leave the woman and the car, you, get out!" The bald man pointed at Ning Qiu and said.

Scavengers will not reason with you. For them, robbing resources is a very normal thing, and it is also one of the means of survival outside the city.

Ning Qiu asked San Tian to get into the car first, and then pulled out the big sword stuck in the ground.

When the bald man in the lead saw it, a stern look appeared in his eyes.

"Kill!" Seeing that they didn't intend to be caught without a fight, he gave a low shout.

After receiving the order, the rest of the people rushed towards them with the weapons in their hands.
